Detroit — Pat Verbeek is rejoining the Red Wings, and continuing his working relationship with Steve Yzerman.
The Wings announced Monday that Verbeek has been hired to become an assistant general manager in the organization.
Verbeek will serve alongside current assistant general manager Ryan Martin.
The expected move comes as senior vice president Ken Holland — who was replaced by Yzerman as Wings’ general manager — reportedly will be named GM of the Edmonton Oilers in the next day or two.
